| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I expect to have Druid 6 comments posted later this month. There's a back story regarding why I chose to put RIAA in the digital domain for one tonearm in both of my systems, which I suppose I'll include since people seem interested. Both systems ... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Any new Presence would be a re-appearance of the original in a different form factor. If Sean makes it, it won't replace anything in the current line. It would sit between Druid and Definition. Presence as defined by the original, is a single FRD ... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Zu has to pace its new model rollouts, given the capital requirements of a self-financed company. What you're seeing in the reported content changes to Druid 6, the rumors about Experience and Presence is convergence of the past Zu sound families ... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I have had the Melody M845 in my own systems for extended audition, with the specific mission to get it as close to the Audion Black Shadow as possible, through tube rolling.These amps are made to a very high standard of build quality. The stock-t... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Dentdog,Your room isn't very different dimensionally from the room my Definitions system is used in. That room's dimensions are 21' x 14' x 8-1/2', and it's in an open plan house, so there are substantial non-bounded openings on two sides. I liste... | |

| SET amp comparable to First Watt SIT 1? Yup, true. I've used OTL and SET on a very wide variety of speakers under optimal conditions for both amps. I'll put my statement cited in further perspective:40, 30, 20 years ago, I would have (and did) recommend and own OTL tube amps for maximum... | |
| SET amp comparable to First Watt SIT 1? I owned the Audiopax 88 before I fully committed to Audion SET and PSET in my systems. The 88 is a beautiful sounding amp, though it is hardest to get deep bass to sound right. If you have speakers that have nothing usable below 40Hz or so, this i... | |
| SET amp comparable to First Watt SIT 1? Charles,The XLS variant of the 300B can be used in a straight 300B circuit, with normal 300B power output. Used in an amp configured to leverage the XLS tube's higher power potential, it takes on slightly different character but sounds impressive ... | |
| SET amp comparable to First Watt SIT 1? tmare,PSET (Parallel Single-Ended Triode) topology with 300B tubes will do fine at the Volti- efficiency level, your listening habits and your room size. On nominal 100db/w/m speakers using for example 24w Audion PSET 300B Golden Dreams, at 1m you... | |
| SET amp comparable to First Watt SIT 1? We don't have enough info from the OP wrt room size/characteristics and which model Volti he's considering, to answer definitively. Also, I can't find an impedance spec on the Volti site. Nevertheless, I have owned OTL amps and like many of their ... | |
| SET amp comparable to First Watt SIT 1? If you want the clarity, quietness, speed of the SIT-1 with superior tonality and spatial presentation in SET, an Audion amp is perfect, and I have to say best.In your price range you can choose from a simple 300B stereo power amp at $5.5K, up thr... | |
| Does anyone run 2 or more turntables... I run three turntables with five tonearms on two systems.One system includes a Luxman PD444, modified in small ways but mounted on 1 lb. brass cones resting on Aurios media bearings, which yield a vast improvement over the factory footers. The oth... | |

They offer great service for even their oldest models, and sometimes phantom upgrades beyond the model's ending configuration.If for some reason you do not want to go the factory route, then Bob Hovland in Los Angeles... | |
